Specialised in pain management & sports recovery. Outstanding efficacy. Fast recovery.
From acute injuries to chronic conditions, we deliver fine-needle precision to restore circulation and release deep tension. In a market where many clinics isolate their treatments, we uniquely design our acupuncture to work in synergy with therapeutic massage. This dedicated dual approach is rare in Melbourne, delivering an exceptional success rate.
Targeted soft-tissue work and trigger-point release to ease muscle tension, improve circulation and restore range of motion. Pairs seamlessly with acupuncture for faster recovery from injury, posture-related pain and sports overuse.
Personalised classical herbal formulas tailored to your TCM diagnosis — supporting recovery from the inside out by rebalancing internal systems, strengthening immunity and addressing complex chronic conditions.
Often called "psychological acupuncture." A non-invasive somatic technique that combines modern psychology with meridian theory — tapping specific acupoints to clear energetic blocks, lower cortisol, and ease anxiety, trauma & stress-induced pain.
Dr. Gao trained at one of China's leading Grade-A hospitals before continuing his career in Australia. His practice blends classical Chinese medicine with rigorous, evidence-led clinical reasoning — focused on pain management, sports recovery, and complex internal health conditions.
A handful of recent 5-star Google reviews from patients Dr. Gao has helped — across pain, injuries and complex conditions.
“Ken is a magician. I could not lift my arm because of pain, and within 15 minutes I could scratch the back of my head. He's worked on my back and sciatica — something I'd suffered from for over 30 years — and now, no pain, no spasms. Massage plus very clever acupuncture seems to fix most problems within one or two sessions.”
“I had back and right arm pain for nearly three months. I tried Western medicine and physical therapy, even painkillers containing morphine, but the pain remained unbearable. Ken's amazing acupuncture let me stop the painkillers after just one session. After two more for consolidation, I'm pain-free. Thank you, Ken! 🙏”
“Ken is amazing — had an ear infection and he literally eased my pain with acupuncture instantly. Highly recommend, very friendly and such a happy, positive person. See him weekly now for ongoing health and maintenance.”
“Recommended by a friend for acupuncture and remedial massage for a torn shoulder muscle and numbness in my feet. Dr. Ken's enthusiastic warmth, knowledge and treatment led to immediate improvements in pain relief and mobility — which I previously believed was impossible. A classical master of acupuncture and remedial massage.”
“我先生手指麻木了一年半，西医诊断为腕管综合征，需要手术。遇到 Ken 医生后，我们决定试试中医。几次治疗后，他的手指现在已经好了，真心感谢高医生精湛的医术和对病人耐心、关怀的态度。”
“Ken 医生太厉害了！我儿子的大拇指无法正常伸直，我非常担心。Ken 耐心地教我在家如何按摩。多亏他的指导，孩子的拇指现已完全恢复正常。非常感谢他专业的帮助和善意，强烈推荐！”
